Mission Ridge Welcomes New GM
Mission Ridge is pleased to announce the appointment of Matt Neubauer as the new General Manager, succeeding Josh Jorgensen, who has led the resort for the past 13 years. Jorgensen will continue to be involved in Mission Ridge’s planned expansion, ensuring a seamless transition and ongoing growth for the resort.
A Washington State native, Neubauer grew up on the west side of the state and cherished time spent in Wenatchee with his grandparents. These early experiences instilled in him the importance of family and connection—values that have guided his personal and professional life.
Neubauer’s passion for soccer led him to Colorado, where he played Division II soccer while earning a degree in Mass Communications from Colorado State University Pueblo. After a brief tenure with NBC, he transitioned into the ski industry in 2008, driven by a love for the mountains.
Over the past 16 years, Neubauer has developed extensive leadership experience in the ski industry, focusing on Food and Beverage operations. He has held key roles at renowned ski resorts, including Keystone, Breckenridge, and most recently, Stevens Pass. Known for his team-building skills and effective communication, Neubauer is dedicated to enhancing both employee and guest experiences while optimizing resort operations.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Neubauer, his wife, and their two sons embrace their love for the outdoors through activities such as river play, camping adventures, and hitting the slopes—living out the same values that first inspired him at a young age. The family relocated to Wenatchee in 2021, where his wife now works in the school district.
“We are thrilled to welcome Matt to the Mission Ridge family,” said Mission Ridge owner and President, Larry Scrivanich. “His extensive experience and commitment to fostering community align perfectly with our resort’s mission. I look forward to working closely with him in the future.”
Neubauer expressed his enthusiasm about joining Mission Ridge, stating, “This is truly a dream come true. I’m honored to lead a resort that holds such a special place in our community and in my heart. Together, we will continue to create memorable experiences for our guests and uphold the values that make Mission Ridge unique.”
